regular veflicles. The .need for increased public education regarding
recycling was also expressed.
Public Input;
Jim. Lcnda, :Empire Waste .Management, addressed 'the City Council
indicating, the RFP before the 'Council is very thorough. He expressed a
desire to remove the "no cori.tacf`' rule as it makes it very difficult to
respond to the media when there are questions. He indicated the
Council may• want to talk vyifh,:members of the Santa Rosa City Council
regarding. difficulties they had` with the "no contact" rule. Mr. Landa
recommended the Council consider having a Study Session with the
Council to get input from agencies interested in bidding.. He also
questioned if certain. sections of .the RFP would be weighted more heavily
than others and stated Council Members should visit the sites that
eventually submit an RFP.
Council indicated their support for a Study Session as recommended.
Ernie Carpenter, lndustrial Carting, addressed the City Council in
agreement with providing open competition with regard to debris boxes..
He also noted, in his opinion, single-stream recycling is not the best
recycling methodology. He continued by requesting the City Ordinance
regarding security/bonding for RFP's be amended as it places a
significant handicap for smaller companies.
After a brief discussion wifh fhe City Attorney, it was noted the City's
current ordinance already provides the City Council with the flexibility to
provide alternate means of security, i.e. bid bonds.
The City Council was in agreement with providing the flexibility in the RFP
to include co-collection vehicles as well as regular collection vehicles, as
well as an alternative fuel cost break out.
